The Variegated Flycatcher is a widespread tyrant flycatcher of South America, known for its streaked plumage and adaptability to various open habitats. It exhibits seasonal movements.
Where to spot
Breeds across much of South America, primarily in the southern half (Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay). Winters north to the Amazon Basin, Colombia, and Venezuela. Found in savannas, open woodlands, forest edges, and agricultural areas.
How to spot
Look for its streaked brownish upperparts, pale underparts with subtle streaking, a prominent white supercilium, and a hidden yellow crown patch. Its strong, often loud, calls help distinguish it.
When to spot
Observed year-round in different parts of its range due to migratory patterns. Most easily seen during the breeding season when vocalizing.
